Synopsis:

A century after a cataclysmic event reshaped the world, power dynamics have shifted under the rule of the Integrated Empire Foundation. The Invertia also birthed a new generation – the Genestella, humans possessing extraordinary physical abilities. These individuals are groomed for elite academies and participate in public "Festas," competitive duels showcasing their talents.

Ayato Amagiri, a scholarship student at Seidoukan Academy, finds himself unexpectedly entangled in this world of competitive combat. While initially seeking to uncover the truth behind his sister's disappearance, Ayato is drawn into a larger conspiracy as he navigates the intricate social landscape of the academy. He must contend with formidable rivals and master his own abilities to achieve his goals amidst a backdrop of intense competition and hidden agendas. The series explores themes of identity, ambition, and the cost of pursuing personal objectives within a society defined by exceptional power.
